Emotional Fluency: The Language Black Boys aren't Taught | Nate Evans Jr. | TEDxWhiting

Nate Evans Jr. discusses an issue within black communities that persists due to the lack of mental health awareness. Nathan Evans Jr. is a First-Generation High School & First-Generation College graduate. He creates experiences for apprehensive students to feel worthy when they are waging a war in their mind. Nate is a #1 best-selling author, a highly requested speaker, mindset coach and podcast host. He also is a youth mentor and educational consultant. He lives by the quote, "CHANGE WHAT WE NORMALIZE™” which was inspired by his mission to eradicate the stigmas around mental health amongst Gen-Z.
